Princess Eugenie Stuns at Her Royal Wedding
Let me tell you, folks, all eyes were on Princess Eugenie on her big day, Friday, October 12, and for good reason! The royal bride looked absolutely breathtaking in her wedding gown. Now, some might have expected her to wear a veil, but instead, she went for something even more dazzling—an exquisite emerald tiara. Can you picture it? It was a moment that truly captured the essence of royal elegance and modern charm.
Royal watchers were buzzing with predictions that Eugenie would choose the York Diamond Tiara, which her mom, Sarah Ferguson, wore during her own wedding to Prince Andrew back in 1986. But guess what? Eugenie decided to follow in the footsteps of Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, opting to borrow a tiara from her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth’s impressive collection. Talk about making a statement!
The Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara: A Royal Treasure
According to Kensington Palace, Eugenie wore the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara, crafted by Boucheron for Dame Margaret Helen Greville in 1919. Queen Elizabeth didn’t receive this masterpiece until 1942, making it a true piece of history. This dazzling headpiece is adorned with brilliant and rose-cut diamonds, all set in platinum. But wait, there's more! The tiara features a stunning large emerald at its center, flanked by six more emeralds on each side. It’s a true work of art that adds a touch of regal magic to any occasion.

Eugenie, all of 28 years old, was a vision in her Peter Pilotto gown. The open-back, long-sleeve design was not only a nod to modern fashion but also a heartfelt way to showcase her back scar from scoliosis surgery. At first glance, you might not even notice the absence of a veil, as the tiara and the stunning back of her dress command all the attention. She paired the look with a loose chignon hairstyle and matching emerald earrings, completing a picture-perfect ensemble.
Honoring Her Journey: Eugenie's Open-Back Design
Eugenie hinted at her decision to have an open back during a previous interview. “I had an operation when I was 12 on my back, and you’ll see on Friday [at the wedding], but it’s a lovely way to honor the people who looked after me and a way of standing up for young people who also go through this,” she told ITV’s This Morning. “I think you can change the way beauty is perceived, and you can show people your scars. I think it’s really special to stand up for that.” It’s moments like these that remind us of the strength and grace behind the royal facade.
A Gown Full of Symbolism
Eugenie’s wedding dress wasn’t just a stunning piece of fashion; it was a canvas of symbolism. According to CNN Style, her gown featured brocade detailing that included the Thistle for Scotland, the Shamrock for Ireland, the York Rose for England, and Ivy, representing the couple’s home. These elements added a layer of personal meaning to the day, connecting Eugenie and her fiancé, Jack Brooksbank, with their shared heritage and the royal family.
